Figure Lengend Snippet: Respiratory amplitude (cyan line in ( A )) and frequency (dark green line in ( B )) extracted from the IMU acceleration signal of an Android smartphone during normal breathing in a subject undergoing a PSG examination. In ( A ), the magenta and blue lines, which show the fast and slow envelopes of the respiratory amplitude, respectively, overlap, and RE is not detected. ( B ) The blue line, which shows the upper envelope of the respiratory frequency, overlaps with the respiratory frequency itself, and RE is also not detected. RE is not detected in the simultaneous PSG ( C ).
Article Snippet: We examined three IMU-embedded devices: a GPS device (Amue Link ® LM-001, Sony Network Communications Inc., Tokyo, Japan), an Android smartphone (Xperia 8 ® Lite, Sony Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and an iOS smartphone (iPhone SE ® 3rd generation, iOS 17.2.1, Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA).
